“I’m actually daring everybody, if you have any dream towards those that you have as mentors, where ever they are in the world, trust me, If you believe God and work hard, you’re going to sit on the same table with them”

Still explaining the disruptive phenomenon of the forthcoming mega concert, he announced that Nigerian music will never remain the same again after the Fearless concert. He also added that the concert will be a game changer in everyone’s life.

The conversation came to an end with Tim Godfrey appreciating Praiseworld Radio, stating how amazing the radio station is.

“Thank you Praiseworld! You guys are amazing, the biggest! Everybody if you’re not on Praiseworld, youre missing, This is huge! Every announcement about the development of the Fearless concert will be coming first straight to Praiseworld radio so stay tuned.”

In an Instagram post Tim Godfrey shared that he believed that Lagos and Nigeria will shake for Jesus and that lives will be transformed through the concert:
